• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Andre raised a hoof. "That is... appreciated, thank you, but it's more that he's... well, he said that if I don't tell people, he's going to. And he's surely gonna make it sound worse." Oh boy. He sure sounded like the victim here. Dave had to be be thinking this was something completely...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Andre nodded and stepped in. After a bit of hesitation, he elected to close the door himself. He sighed and stepped deeper into the room. He turned around to face Dave. "Basically," he started, voice low, "I made a promise to Ridley that I'd tell at least a few people something about myself...

    Threadmarks: Ch07: Confession (Andre & Dave)

    Doing another day of his mailmon job was good for Andre. He supposed it was, anyway. A return to normalcy after the terror of the Comb. He had carried the same worries with him the entire time, though. Since the visit to Evil Fucking Cave, he'd scarcely had a waking moment where he wasn't stuck...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Right." Andre nodded. Maybe Ridley did know what the visions meant, but just wasn't comfortable telling Andre about it. It might not have even been due to the whole 'this guy is a murderer' thing, but a 'my childhood was deeply traumatic and I'm not ready to open up about it to a relative...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre nodded in response to Ridley's wave. "Yeah. That sounds sensible." Andre paused, then spoke again. "You know, since you saw... something related to me," he began, "I should tell you that I saw something related to you as well. I was... in some woods that looked like Glimwood Tangle...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Aura allows me to see when people are lying, or when they're hiding something," Andre said. "I lead them on until they admit to something, and their aura confirms they're telling the truth. Of course, that most often doesn't end up happening. I've brought many, many assholes into my flat...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre stared into the distance, confused, until he remembered. Really, Evil Cave? Really? "I... think I know what you saw," Andre said. "But it's not, like, real. I see it in my dreams sometimes. That's it. I wouldn't think much of it." He sighed. "Anyway, yeah, I did sense aura in my world...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    A week. Okay. Andre knew already that he would keep it to himself until the very last minute. Not only to find the best way to present things, but also to choose who were the ones he would tell. How many were a few? What was the minimum? Three? The fewer people he told, the better chances he had...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre took a moment to contemplate Ridley's words. Sure, maybe it was a little extreme of Andre to jump to the conclusion that he would be killed. After all, one major reason that he did what he did was because most others weren't capable of such acts. But the Wayfarers were a diverse bunch...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Kill you?" Andre's snout wrinkled. "Ridley, I'm not gonna kill you. I don't do that. I don't target anyone but abusers." Besides, Ridley had to have been better at combat than him. He wouldn't be able to kill him if he tried. He looked around, but the cave was like a maze. Ridley could have...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    When the walls and ceiling of the cave became visible, Andre sighed out all the air in his lungs. No drowning for him. It felt strange to breathe through the muzzle of a deerling again. And to stand on all fours. And to have no hands. Hands... he should have appreciated them more while he still...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Shit," Andre hissed. While he did know how to swim, he didn't know if he would be able to do it in something so horribly cold. "Ridley?" he shouted into the silence. He didn't think he'd get a response, but he might as well try. Anything to keep his mind occupied.

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Thank the gods. Andre slipped out of the door. He also headed for the highest point on the beach for good measure. It did make sense that the whole Powehi thing was lodged in Ridley's subconscious. He hadn't spoken to Ridley while he was under the shadows' influence, he didn't think, but he'd...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "You think I'd tell everyone if I was proud of it? You think I wanna get lynched?" Shit. Shit. Great, now Powehi's ocean was here. Cold and freezing. Could he get out? Would the door that led him here open to let him out, or would he have to know the pain of drowning before the cave was done...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Huh? What was Ridley saying? Had he... no, yeah, he'd have to have seen what Andre did to his vic- targets firsthand. He had to be mad about that. "Well, it's not my fucking fault what this wacko cave showed you!" Andre shouted. "And do you think I don't know what others would think if they...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Fucking hell. Of course. "You'll make sure of what? I can only hear, like, eighty percent of your words." Probably nothing good. But in any case, this changed things. For one, Ridley was now his enemy.

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Relief. Oh Gods. His secret was safe. But why wouldn't he tell them? Was he afraid of him? Did he want to extort him? He sensed there was more to come...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Oh, well, forgive me for not blindly trusting rumors, Ridley," Andre snapped back. He didn't particularly care about the mannequins. "Just tell me one thing. Are you gonna tell the others about me?"

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    A lab. Two mannequins talking. Who were they supposed to be? Okay, maybe Andre should think about this a bit. What was this dungeon trying to tell him? What had he seen? He'd seen the woods, possibly Glimwood Tangle, then a kid's room with their parents - presumably - arguing, then the woods...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    Andre waited until he was on the other side to answer, as trying not to slip took all of his attention. And even with that, he'd slipped. And realized that he should have spread his weight by crawling on his hands and knees. He felt like he may have had that thought somewhere in his...
